Abstract
Disseminated superficial porokeratosis (DSP) is a rare variant of porokeratosis, which is characterized histologically by cornoid lamella and clinically by central atrophy with elevated borders. DSP is usually associated with immunosuppressive states and hematopoietic malignancies, but rarely with malignancies of visceral organs. A 65-year-old male presented with numerous brownish macules with elevated borders on the trunk and limbs that had been present for 1 year. Before the visit to our clinic, gastric cancer was diagnosed at about the same time the skin lesions suddenly increased in size and number. Clinical and histopathological examination revealed that the lesions were consistent with DSP. We herein report a rare case of disseminated superficial porokeratosis that occurred in association with gastric cancer.
